Dear Quran Lovers,
Let us continue to recite surah 2 Al-Baqoroh (synopsis of Islam). Please refer to the text:
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
(50) وَإِذْ فَرَقْنَا بِكُمُ اُلْبَحْرَ فَأَنجَيْنَكُمْ وَأَعْرَقْنَآ ءَالَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَأَنتُمْ تَنظُرُونَ
وَإِذْ فَرَقْنَا بِكُمُ اُلْبَحْرَ فَأَنجَيْنَكُمْ = "Wa Idz Fa-roqq Na~ Bi Ku-mul-Bah-ro Fa Anj~jai Na~ Kum", = "Wa" = And, "Idz" = when, "Fa-roqq" = separated, divided, "Na~" = We, "Bi" = by, for, "Ku-mu" = all of you, "al-Bah-ro" = the sea, "Fa" = then, "Anj~jai" = saved, delivered, "Na~" = We, "Kum" = all of you,
وَأَغْرَقْنَآ ءَالَ فِرْعَوْنَ = "Wa Agh-roqq Na~~ A~la Fir-'aw-na", "Wa" = and, "Agh-roqq" = caused to sink, "Na~" = We, "A~la" = folk, people, "Fir-'aw-na" = Pharaoh,
وَأَنتُمْ تَنظُرُونَ = "Wa Ant~tum Tanzh~zhu-ru~~n".  "Wa Ant~tum" = and all of you, "Tanzh~zhu-ru~na" = you all saw.
"Wa Idz Fa-roqq Na~ Bi Ku-mul-Bah-ro Fa Anj~jai Na~ Kum Wa Agh-roqq Na~ A~la Fir-'aw-na Wa Ant~tum Tanzh~zhu-ru~~n". = And (remember the time) when We/Allah separated the (Red) Sea for all of you and We delivered all of you. And We caused Pharaoh (and his) army to sink (into the sea) while all of you saw (what had happened).
(Allah is reminding the Children of Israel this second Niimat that when Allah commanded Prophet Moses a.s. and his people amounting to more than sixty thousand to leave Egypt, and they were being pursued by Pharaoh and his army until they came to the sea (the Red Sea) side. They were trapped. In their front was a deep blue sea and they had nothing with which they could cross the sea. And in their hind, their enemies were rushing in and they were not strong to fight them. There was no escape for them. Then Allah said to Moses a.s. that he a.s. should strike his staff that he was holding at the sea. And he a.s. did. With the will and the consent of Allah, the sea parted and separated into twelve paths. Then the 12 tribes of the Children of Israel, each tribe rushed into one path, and then they reached safely to the other side, the beach of the peninsular of Sinai.
 When Pharaoh saw that Moses and his people ran into the paths in the sea, he followed suit. And when Moses and his people had safely arrived at Sinai beach, Allah closed up the sea back as it was before, trapping Pharaoh and his army. {It was said that at that time, Pharaoh felt remose and wanted to repent and was asking Allah for forgiveness. But it was a little bit too late for him. He was repenting while he was choking and his soul was almost in his mouth. He died a disbeliever.}. Pharaoh and all of his army died in the Red Sea.
 Prophet Moses a.s. was furnished with a "Muu-ji-zat"/power of Prophetic, that was/is his staff/stick.).
(51) (to be continued).
                                       =====*****======
Let now continue to look at the Meeting With Allah in the Hereafter.:
 Allah said, "The Angels have cared for/saved, the Prophets have cared for, and the Believers have also cared for/saved, the one who has not done so is the Most Merciful/Allah". Then, without dawdling, Allah Subhana Hu~ wa Ta-'a~la~/Glory be and Elevated be to Him, takes out a group of people who had never done any good deed at all when they were on the earth, from the Fiery Hell. Those people have already being burnt to charcoal. Then they are thrown into a river called "River of Life" at a gate of the Paradise. Then their charred bodies grow like a seed growing after a flood. The Prophet s.a.w. said, "Have you not seen many kind of seeds which were on the rocks or on the trees. Those received the sun light grew in yellow or in green colour , and those which were under the shade, in white colour.". The companions said, "O Messenger of Allah! As if you had been tending sheep in the mountains". Then the Prophet s.a.w. continued, "Then they will grow white in colour like that of  the pearls, and their necks are seen marked with a chop, marking that they are the dwellers of the Paradise. They are the people freed by Allah (from the Hell) and are put into the Paradise without making any good deeds at all. Then Allah will say to them, "Go and enter into the Paradise, and whatever you see in It are yours". They will say, "O our Lord! You are giving us what You do not give to any one else.". Allah says, "There are more and better things that I have not given to all of you". Those people will ask, "O our Lord! What other better things than all these?" Allah says, "My permanent consent and My permanent pleasure. And I shall never be angry with all of you ever again". (narrated by Muslim).
                               ooooo000ooooo
Let us now continue to look into the Basic Islamic Rules:
  (2) Solat: (B) The Sunnah/optional In A Solat: 
   (iii) To recite The Isti'adzah: It is Sunnah to recite the Is-ti-'a-dzah = "A 'U~dzu Bil-Lahi Mi-nasy-SYai-to~nir-Ro-ji~~m" = I seek protection by Allah from Satan the accursed, after reciting the Doa Iftitah and before reciting Al-Fatihah, because Allah says in surah 16 An-Nahl, verse 98, "And when you recite the Quran, seek refuge in Allah from Satan the accursed".
 It is Sunnah to recite It softly. But Asy-Syafieiah was/is of the opinion that it is optional to recite It loudly or softly in the solat where recitation of the verses of the Quran be recited loudly, that is the night solat fardhu, Fridays and the two Idd.
It is decreed only in the first Rokaat and not the subsequent Rokaat. 
(to be continued)
Until we meet again in the next session, see you all Quran Lovers soon.
